The victim's name was Maria Dolores Cannas, she was 57 years old. His 27-year-old son Andrea Tidu was arrestedHe hit his mother in the back with a single, lethal stab wound.
Terrible murder in a house in via Monte Genis, in Sinnai, this afternoon shortly after 4pm . The victim was called Maria Dolores Cannas, a 57-year-old housewife. She was killed by her son: Andrea Tidu, 27 years old.
According to a very first reconstruction by the investigators, mother and son argued at home, apparently for trivial reasons.
The fight degenerated and the twenty-seven-year-old grabbed the knife to stick it in the woman's back: a single blow that would have reached the lung.
She remained on the ground, the boy ran away. But he didn't get very far. The victim's husband, and father of the young man, who is a gardener in life, was in the next room and called for help. He also tried to resuscitate the woman.
The alarm was also immediately sent to the police: the soldiers of the Quartu Radiomobile, with colleagues from the town station, rushed to the scene and stopped Tidu a short distance from the house: he was motionless on the pavement, in a state of confusion.
The 118 rescuers attempted to save the fifty-seven-year-old's life, but there was nothing they could do: the bleeding killed her.
The magistrate on duty, Enrico Lussu, was also on site.
